TNT1 Posted November 9, 2011 Share I think your main challenge might be the potentially hostile motorists. Keep left and behave on the route and I'm sure they will. Also, find a driveway to take a dump on. The cradle folks love that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboajubejube Posted November 12, 2016 Share Awesome! Thanks for the info! We were looking at going out there on Sunday morning from 6am onwards, as we work in Sandton during the week, and traffic is a nightmare to get back into Sandton! Looking forward to riding around there on Sunday though pm sent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisismyotherbike Posted November 12, 2016 Share I'm way too late to the discussion, but here's a nice heat map. You'll notice that the Cradle is probably the most frequented road route in or near Joburg. The heat map neatly shows where most cyclists choose to ride.

rudi-h Posted November 13, 2016 Share its perfectly safe from a crime point of view on any weekend day, any time of year. from a traffic point of view, I try to avoid the stretch on Beyers Naude as much as possible. Something country, lion park, caves, malibongwe and if you want back up sattelite hill... you can easily stitch anything from 30km to 100km together by staying on those roads.

They never lived underground, the fossils they found: either they fell into a deep limestone hole/cave and died or were quite possibly put there for burial (Naledi) Edited November 13, 2016 by kosmonooit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
